Chapter 297: Karma (XV) [A Date With The Queen]
Phew~The steam curled lazily through the air, the bathwater still rippling faintly from everything that had happened.
My head leaned back against the marble edge, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I let my mind wander.
...I actually became a god-like existence, huh?
Honestly, it still surprises me to this day.
"Schlup... slrrrp... chuuup...♡"
Two years ago, I was living my life as a successful, award-winning actor, and since I had gained enough money for me to live several lifetimes, I was thinking about retiring...
And then, the next day, I simply appeared in this world.
Quite a surprise...
"Lick... schlup... mmnnnchh..."
But well...
"Ughh..." I groaned slighly.
I really couldn’t ignore the pleasure anymore.
"Slrp, chuup, glllckk... mmwahhh..."rying to take a piece of me. Smiling, nodding, agreeing, pretending... it’s exhausting."
I reached across the table, taking her hand in mine. Her fingers curled around mine immediately, tightly, as though afraid I might pull away.
"So today..." she whispered, her eyes glistening faintly, "...today feels like a dream. To walk around, laugh, eat, and just... be me. Not the queen. Just Isabella. With you."
I squeezed her hand gently.
"Then let’s make it last—the whole day. No crowns, no nobles. Just us... That’s why I’m here, no?"
Her lips trembled into a smile, a small laugh breaking through as she blinked away the heaviness.
"...You really know how to make me fall harder, don’t you?"
"Just telling the truth."
She leaned across the table suddenly, brushing her lips against mine in a soft kiss. Not the heated kind we’d shared before, but something far gentler.
When she pulled back, her cheeks were flushed, but her eyes shone with warmth.
"Then promise me... that when it gets hard again, you’ll remind me of today."
To her weird way of expressing herself, I couldn’t help but smirk faintly, unable to resist.
"Oh, it’s already hard."
Her eyes widened, her face turning crimson in an instant.
"Y-you—! That’s not what I meant!"
I chuckled, leaning back in my chair.
"Mm, but you walked right into that one."
She puffed her cheeks and smacked my hand lightly, though her fingers didn’t let go of mine.
"Idiot...! Always teasing at the worst times..."
Her face stayed red as she glared at me.
Then, with a sharp huff, she stood up, then suddenly hooked her arm through mine and pressed her whole body against me.
"Mmhh~! You’re not getting away that easily," she pouted, her voice dripping with spoiled sweetness.
"Since you teased me like that, you have to be punished."
"Punished, huh? Should I be worried?"
She smirked faintly, eyes flashing.
"Yes. Very worried. Because I’ve decided... you’re coming shopping with me!"
Before I could react, she tugged hard on my arm, practically dragging me out of the café into the bustling street.
"Oi, Isabella, slow down," I muttered, though I let her pull me.
"Nope," she said smugly, her emerald eyes glowing with mischief. "You made a lewd joke, so now you’re my dress-up doll. That’s fair, isn’t it?"
I chuckled under my breath.
"I don’t recall agreeing to this punishment."
She only pressed closer, her breasts squishing shamelessly against my arm as her lips brushed my ear.
"Mmhh~ but you love it when I act spoiled, don’t you?"
"Can’t deny that."
"Good~♡ Then be quiet and let me spoil you for once," she said with a grin.
Within minutes, we slipped into a high-end clothing shop, the air rich with perfume and the faint rustle of silk.
Isabella’s eyes lit up like a child in a candy store, though she never let go of my arm.
"First... we’ll find you something nice. Handsome, princely, perfect. And then..." She leaned in close, whispering so only I could hear, "maybe I’ll buy myself something a little daring for later~♡."
I coughed, suddenly feeling the stares of curious clerks.
"You really don’t care who hears you, do you?"
Her only answer was a playful giggle as she pulled me deeper into the store.
